New Jersey Entrepreneurs: Talented + Resilient

by Carley Graham Garcia


This is a challenging time for New Jerseyans, to say the least.

For this New Jerseyan, the last few weeks have been marked by endless Zooms, a makeshift virtual elementary school in my dining room and conversations about the increasing panic about the state of small business and the start-up ecosystem.

Last week, my friend Kacy Erdelyi sent me a note that she would officially close Joyist, the organic functional foods cafe she founded around the corner from our houses. Kacy is not just a neighbor. She and I, along with New Jersey Economic Development Authority President Tim Sullivan, were college classmates. Kacy is a former New York City advertising agency executive turned small business owner in Montclair, the dynamic urban suburb we now both call home.
